I build composites. Carbon fiber is a wonderful material.... light, strong, long lasting. I always coat in a light solid color to keep the temperature low for exposed use since it is a structure material. However I hate it clear coated for cosmetic use. Chintzy and tacky to me. As a true replacement piece to save weight I get it. Otherwise it just a "poser" as an overlay only for looks. To each his own. The Honda crowd will be impressed.

Dude are really that stupid?
Interior parts are always just for looks on a street car.

I guess I are. I'm allowed my own opinion. I certainly didn't call names.

With opinion expressed in that manor you must have a lot of friends. .


Yeah, the "Honda" crowd.

Great look!

I have factory carbon fiber and it really modernize the interior.

Don't hate the Honda crowd. Some of us started with jdm. I tell people that my 996 turbo is like my first car which was a Honda Integra but with a lot more power. I drove that beast redline always.

I think it looks good, but my daily driver is a Honda.
